"Boating Up Sandy", also known as "Boating Up Sandy" or "Gal with the Blue Dress On" is an<br> American reel in A Mixoldyian (Phillips) or A Dorian (Johnson). It is usually played as a<br> crooked tune with one part of 14 measures.<br> This tune is entirely different from both the<br> contra-dance version and the<br> American reel version<br> of "The Girl With the Blue Dress On".<br> The tune is a member of a tune family including "Hog Eye an' a 'Tater", "Hog Eye Man",<br> "Hog Eye", "Granny Will Your Dog Bite?", "Sally in the Garden" or "Fire on/in the Mountain"<br> (there are several tunes by this name; it is a "floater").<br> It was printed in Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983),<br> Johnson's The Kitchen Musician: Occasional Collection of Old-Timey Fiddle Tunes for Hammer<br> Dulcimer, Fiddle, etc. (1982) (revised 1988 & 2003) and<br> Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994).<br> It was recorded by Delbert Hughes on The Home Recordings,<br> Wilson Douglas on Brandywine 75: Music of West Virginia (1975),<br> Wilson Douglas on Boatin' Up Sandy, and The Hollow Rock String Band on The Hollow Rock<br> String Band (1974).<br>
